Tuesday Improv - Night Time Special (Class + Coaching)
My experience with the course was very positive. The structure of the two-part format, with the virtual learning portion followed by in-person improv practice, was effective and engaging. I appreciated that everyone had the opportunity to actively participate and showcase their work, fostering a sense of teamwork. The instructor provided valuable guidance throughout the course, making the learning process enjoyable and collaborative. I truly enjoyed witnessing the creativity of everyone and how each person's unique perspective came to life. The warm-up games were particularly enjoyable; they effectively helped us all relax and connect, setting a positive tone for our collaborative efforts. -
Tuesday Improv - Night Time Special (Class + Coaching)
I thought my experience was really good, and I would like to do it again. It was a bit out of my comfort zone but Carl did a great job of bringing me in and getting me to interact well with everyone. The space was very nice too, it was just upstairs in someone's apartment but a beautiful view over Central Park. For it being a little far from my apartment and a little expensive to do on a regular basis for me. Would certainly recommend people try it!! -

Carl is beyond wonderful! This is the best class I've ever taken. He is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. I was a novice to improv and he made me feel comfortable yet pushed me to the next level. Cannot recommend highly enough!! -
